Plastics at USC :
PSIG works hand-in-hand with both the University Plastic Surgeons on the Health Sciences Campus and the division of plastic surgery at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. We work hard to provide shadowing and research opportunities at both of these locations as well as private practice locations. For more information see the University Plastic Surgeons and CHLA's department websites.
